Perfect country get away.

Very cute, quiet, country setting with accommodating host who put out extra touches to make you feel welcome and at home. We stayed while visiting our son in Toney - so nice to not have to go back into the bigger town and traffic.

Gail and her place are awesome!

This was our 2nd stay with Gail at this property and we love it! It's cozy, out of the way and an overall great atmosphere. The best part is the cow, we haven't seen it but we've heard it! Gail is very attentive and we plan to stay there whenever we're in the area 😀

This is an awesome basically one bedroom, standalone cottage located in between Ardmore, TN/Al and Fayetteville, Tn. It is exceptionally clean, comfortable, and quiet. Also the host are very non-intrusive, but quick to respond if you have any issues. We will definitely be visiting again.

Peaceful

We absolutely loved staying here. We visited from Finger TN for Comic-Con in Huntsville Alabama. We didn't want to stay at a noisy, crowded hotel. This cute little cottage is about 30 minutes from downtown Huntsville and it is very peaceful country living. Property is Very clean. Property owner Gail is quick to respond to messages. We are looking forward to next year's trip.

Wonderful relaxing get away

We enjoyed this place so much. Clean and comfortable,everything you need to feel at home. It was nice that they had WiFi and cable television. Seat in shower is a great touch too. We have no complaints and would definately visit again if we are in the area. Only about 30 minute drive to jack danielles distillery too! Thanks gail for sharing your place with us and the flowers and chocolates at arrival were so nice of you. You have a wonderful property here.

Family Christmas in Alabama

Family lives outside of Ardmore, AL, about 9 miles south. The cottage gives my wife and me an excellent way to be nearby but in our own place. The cottage was comfortable, and well-equipped, including washer and dryer. You have to know how to get there (Garman was NOT helpful!), but there is good paved access if you have good directions. This was our second stay, and we definitely will return to this place if we come back for another Holiday.

Relaxing night in the country

We stopped here overnight on our roadtrip to Destin. We didn’t realize until we were ready to go to bed that there were no sheets on it. It was past 11, and we felt it was too late to call the host. Fortunately, we found some clean linens in the closet. Other than that oversight, we enjoyed our stay.

Sharing premise with bugs

Overall appearance good. Basic dishes, coffee maker etc. Good location, close enough to Fayetteville and stores. Property had too many earwigs and spiders that gave me concern when keeping my 4 month old great grandbaby. I bought bug spray to use for our 2 day stay. Would recommend owner have premise professionally treated for future guests.
